Practical interior accessoriesUniversal Garage Door
Opener*

The concept The Universal Garage Door Opener can
replace as many as three hand-held trans-
mitters for various accessories, such as
door openers, alarms and door-locking
systems. The Universal Garage Door
Opener registers and stores signals from
the original hand-held transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held trans-
mitter can be programmed on one of the
three channel keys. Following that, each of
the devices can be actuated with the
appropriately-programmed channel key.
The indicator lamp flashes to confirm trans-
mission of the signal.
If the vehicle is sold, the memory of the
channel keys should be cleared as
described on page 109.
To prevent possible damage or injury,
before programming or using the
Universal Garage Door Opener always
inspect the immediate area to make certain
that no people, animals or objects are
within the travel range of the device. Also,
comply with the safety precautions of the
original hand-held transmitter.< Original hand-held transmitter
If you see this symbol on the pack-
aging or in the manual supplied with
the original remote control unit, it is
safe to assume that it is compatible with
the Universal Garage Door Opener.
To check for alternating codes To determine whether the original hand-
held transmitter operates using an alter-
nating code, you should either consult the
manual enclosed with it or program a
channel key as described in the Program-
ming section. After programming, press and hold down
the key on the Universal Garage Door
Opener. If the indicator lamp on the
Universal Garage Door Opener flashes for
two seconds before remaining on continu-
ously, this indicates that the original hand-
held transmitter uses an alernating code. In
this case, you can program the channel
keys using the procedure described on the
next page in the section on programming
alternating-code transmitters.
If you have additional questions,
please consult your BMW center or
call 1-800-355-3515.
